Experience talking here - a pressure washer will spread the oil nicely all
over your drive. Get some sand on it first and soak it up, then get some
detergent on it to break down the oil and lift it from the stones... then a
pressure washer! And avoid any cemented parts as the pressure washer cleans
those out nicely too!!
